Pinterest: We're Not Going To Be Sued Into Oblivion, And Here's Why

Pinterest does not believe it is vulnerable to lawsuits regarding
copyright infringement and is protected under the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act.

We've reached out to Pinterest to find out what their official
policy regarding images that potentially infringe on
copyrights. Now we have our response from Pinterest:

Pinterest provides a service platform through which people share
images, videos, commentary and links with friends
or with others. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
provides safe harbors for exactly this type of
platform. If a copyright holder objects to any of the postings –
and so far very few have objected – Pinterest will follow the
safe harbor procedures set forth in the DMCA.

So, as long as Pinterest removes content if it gets a legitimate
copyright complaint, it is in the clear.
